Definitions

  • the invention relates to a seating and / or reclining furniture with a Seat part as well as with a leg support, which is a leg rest as well as a lifting swivel device, by means of which the leg rest can be raised and lowered relative to the seat part while being controlled by one horizontally and transversely swivel axis extending in the direction of view of the user is pivotable.
  • Such furniture in the form of armchairs is more practical View known.
  • the leg support in different heights and thus simultaneously in different pan or tilt positions convict.
  • the movement of the leg rest is often coupled with an adjustment of the seat part or - if available - with an adjustment movement of the Backrest of the furniture. This is to ensure that the user's legs rest on the leg rest an ergonomically favorable and comfortable location opposite the rest of the user's body.
  • the kinematics the known leg rest is structurally predetermined and does not allow special needs of furniture users to consider.
  • this object is inventively solved in that on a seating and / or reclining furniture the leg rest of the type specified at the beginning Lift swivel device decoupled by a horizontal and pivot axis extending transversely to the direction of view of the user from the positively controlled swivel position in at least one different pivot position can be pivoted and fixed in this pivoted position.
  • the set by means of the lifting swivel device The swivel position of the leg rest can therefore be adjusted if necessary change.
  • the leg rest can be so if necessary be transferred to a position that optimally meets the needs is matched by the user and accordingly offers maximum convenience.
  • the lifting swivel device only provides one in these cases Rough adjustment of the leg rest.
  • the leg rest decoupled from the lift swivel device in at least a swivel position for knee support swiveling and in this pivot position can be determined (claim 2).
  • the seat and / or Lounger furniture his user in addition to taking a comfortable Rest also taking a kneeling position like her for example chosen as an ergonomically favorable working posture can be.
  • the type of invention according to claim 5 stands out due to a wide range of possibilities to adjust the legrest.
  • the legrest support can be positioned for the legrest be chosen, the special needs of the furniture user Take into account.
  • the resulting is expanded Spectrum of setting options through the Circumstance that also opposed the position of the leg rest the legrest support is variable.
  • An automatic release of the leg rest in its shifted position securing connection with the legrest support can be required, for example, if the leg rest with their positively controlled lifting and pivoting movement Objects or facilities in the area of the invention Seat and / or reclining furniture collides. Is in in such cases, securing the leg rest against displacement resolved, it is on the one hand a collision-related Damage to the leg rest avoided. At the same time by loosening the connection between the legrest and legrest support blocking the positively controlled lifting swivel movement the leg rest can be prevented. After this The leg rest can rather loosen the connection automatically avoid the obstacle and thereby the positively controlled Continue stroke swivel movement.
  • Claim 10 describes a type of the invention Seating and / or reclining furniture, in case of need for the greatest possible ease of use also through the design and arrangement of the lifting and swiveling device is worn. After the boom assembly described relative to the direction of view of the furniture user builds small and extends between the user's legs, there is no problem for this when taking a sitting or lying position and at the same time with the legrest raised, the feet towards the floor without going through the lifting / swiveling device would be hindered.
